How to Make Old Fashioned Mac And Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of elbow macaroni according to package directions, reducing the cooking time by 4 minutes. Drain well.
  3. While pasta cooks, cube 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup of mild cheddar cheese. Set aside approximately 1/2 cup of the mild cheddar.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, combine the remaining 1.5 cups of cubed cheddar cheese (sharp and mild), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed celery soup (or cheddar cheese soup), and 1 cup of milk.
  5. Stir in the cooked macaroni until well combined.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of mild cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
